We are almost at the end 2023 – where has this year gone. For most, it has still presented certain challenges, but what has been refreshing and inspiring to see is that this has not deterred so many from forging forward, head-strong to make changes, launch new products, come up with novel ideas, step outside the box and stay the course with the determination to succeed.
We saw this with the successful turnout at our Professional Beauty Show, and during the lively debates and discussions at this year’s first SAAHSP Indaba where many came together for the betterment of all. It was noticed with new brands being launched into market and salon and spa openings happening throughout the year.
The industry is sprouting forth from the aftermath of Covid. It is re-building and re-inventing and looking for new ways to flourish. Those who want to survive and experience growth understand that change is necessary and what once was is not always what is best now. If we do not bend, adjust, adapt, and regroup, we will find it difficult to survive, let alone grow and prosper.
